Peer Presentation #2

The second group presentation was by the "Any and Everywhere's". Their topic was the number of black males incarcerated compared to the number of black in college. This is a topic that is always so interesting to me, especially since the ratio being the way it is here at Howard. The group gave three reasons why this is the case1) poverty 2) child abuse or neglect 3)racial profiling. This is a topic that can be explored and talked about so much because when you think about it, when it comes down to the black community this is a really big problem. More of our men are incarcerated and spending their years behind bars than they are in college. When they come out of prison they usually have a hard time coming back into society. Either because they can't find a job or because they come out and they get right back to doing the things they were doing before they got locked up. so overall this was and really good topic and a good presentation. I wish it could have been a little longer because there is a lot of information to give in just a short period of time.
